Acclime

Acclime is a corporate services provider that acts as a professional employer organisation (PEO) and employer of record (EoR) for companies operating in China. By becoming the legal employer of the client's staff, Acclime lets businesses relocate an existing employee or make a new hire in China before establishing their own legal entity there.

Its China employment service covers onboarding steps such as offer letters, employment contract drafting and eligibility and compliance checks, along with ongoing payroll reporting and compliance with local labour regulations. Clients are assigned a dedicated account manager as a single local point of contact, and Acclime states that pricing is all-inclusive with no hidden fees, from the service proposal through to legal documents and monthly payroll reports.

Acclime describes EoR as suited to market entry, with onboarding possible through its in-house local entities across the Asia Pacific region and lower setup and recurring costs than incorporation. The company also offers company formation for clients ready to establish their own entity, as well as deregistration support and the option of retaining staff through EoR after closing an entity.
